Regrowing your vegetable again and again.

I have seen some really good articles on some of the homestead blogs about replanting your vegetable scraps and letting them regrow. We do this to produce food for us and our livestock.

We take the cuttings of several vegetables and replant them. We do this with Romaine lettuce, carrots, celery, onions especially green onions, potatoes, and pineapples. I believe you can also do garlic and bok choy but I have not tried those yet. I started doing this when I was tossing celery and carrot end cuts into my worm bin for food and they would always start to sprout so I started moving them into a separate bucket to grow. Eventually I started just planting them in the buckets to begin with. I have had great success with this and usually rotate a good amount of buckets like this that gives me a nice production for my mealworm farm and other livestock.

You can also use this system on some microgreens. After you take the first cut for sale you can leave them and let them regrow and use them yourself or they make a great fodder for livestock. The only downfall of this is after a few cuts they will begin to get, what I think the most common term is, "woody". This refers to how the stems will start to get thicker after first cut where the greens will become tougher while the first cut will be tender greens. My green onions after about 3 regrows will start to grow to the size of leaks. "Woody" is really irrelevant if you are using your regrowth cuts for livestock fodder before restarting the tray but if you are using for microgreens "woody" will not produce good repeat customers.

Are their any other vegetables you plant that will regrow that I left out?
